Student Assembly

Whereas Appendix A of the Student Assembly (the Assembly) Charter (the Charter) provides guidelines for the allocation of the Student Activity Fee (the Fee);

Whereas the nature of the Appropriations Committee in a byline funding year should have a great proportion of Assembly members to non Assembly members;

Be it therefore resolved that the Assembly adopts the modifications to Bylaw 7.6.a.1 indicated below, with deletions in strikethrough and insertions bold;

Bylaw 7.6.a.1
Appropriations Committee - The Appropriations Committee of the SA is the financial branch of the SA. It reviews all requests for SA funding as well as the policies and guidelines regarding the Student Activity Fee and those organizations, which receive funding from it. The Committee shall consist of 8 voting members of the SA, to be selected by the Assembly at large during their organizational meetings; the VP Finance, who shall serve as Chair; and 7 undergraduates at-large to be selected by the Staffing Committee. The Director of the Office of the Assemblies or their designee shall serve as an ex-officio non-voting member. No SAFC Commissioners shall serve as voting members of the Committee (with the exception of the VP Finance), however, the SAFC Liaison shall serve as an ex-officio non-voting member as well when the Committee hears SAFC appeals. Quorum shall be defines as a simple majority of all voting members. A designee of the chair shall take minutes at all meetings.

Respectfully submitted,

Gregory Mezey’09
